I had been having shoulder issues for over a year and was told by a prior sports Dr that I just had an impinged shoulder blade. He sent me to physical therapy which only aggravated the pain.
I requested a second opinion from my primary doctor. He recommended Dr Nelson.
I actually saw Madison (Dr Nelson’s PA) prior to Dr Nelson and she recommended an MRI to see what was causing the problem. The MRI found that I have a ligament that is torn completely in half. After having a follow up appointment to review the options with Dr Nelson, we both agreed that surgery was absolutely necessary. If I hadn’t gone to Dr Nelson my injury would have gotten worse and been unrepairable.

Seems to be a good doctor but didn't spend enough time to get to know him

Very personable and listens to you. My physical therapist referred him to me and said he would be the only Dr she would allow to cut on her.
